Casting for two TV shows
Contest, Jobs, Uncategorized Comments Off on Casting for two TV shows
JET Alum Suzette Brown (Tochigi-ken), a casting producer, shared the following two casting calls:
1. PURSUIT OF HEALTH
Currently seeking men and women from a variety of ethnicities, ages and Tri-State area locations for a health series for the web for a major online provider. This is not scripted. Casting for real stories.
The topic is staying healthy and the series is hosted by two health experts. We’re looking to feature people with 2 types of health stories – inspirations and interventions. With interventions, we’re looking for people with a real life health issue (nothing major) that our host helps to resolve. With inspirations, we will showcase various people who will share their tips and show us how they remain healthy (e.g. a dancer who has to nurse her aches and pains so she can dance her next show, a singer tells how she nurses a sore throat, etc).
I’d love to find someone who uses Japanese remedies to stay healthy.
Compensation is $200 for a half day shoot to tell your story. Must be available on March 7 to audition. Please respond with a blurb on your own unique strategy for staying well or tell us what your health issue is. You can email: Read More

Interesting job listing via JETAA NC’s jobs email list:
Stanford Programs is a division of VIA (formerly Volunteers in Asia), an independent, non-profit, educational exchange organization that provides US-Asia public service and educational exchange opportunities. For 45 years, VIA has sent young American volunteers to work within Asian institutions.

The Stanford Programs division develops and coordinates short-term, focused, cross-cultural study programs for students of Asia’s top universities. These programs focus on specific themes such as health
care, poverty & homelessness or volunteerism and also expose students to the diversity of the American society. In 2008, over 200 students from Japan, Taiwan, Korea, and China participated in five short-term programs. VIA’s summer programs are multi-national while spring programs are currently focused on students from Japan. VIA has offices at Stanford University and in San Francisco and the Stanford Programs
